      @@RossReviewsau I appreciate that you actually take the time to answer people too. These were great cars. I used to see them every day on my way in to work. It still baffles me that only the Statesmen got the HID headlights though . Especially in this price bracket. I did hear that GM head office just wouldn't cough up the money to add them to the design locally. I am shocked at the amount of plastic on the interior though. I thought at this level it would be swathed in leather everywhere.

    Magnetic ride control. Basically the struts contain a goop full of metal particles! When a current is passed through it, it hardens instantly, giving a firm ride. If you have a dish of metal filings and drop a magnet into it, the filings clump into a hard mass. MRC is the same principal.

    I have had the pleasure of owning a brand new January 2006 HSV VZ CLUBSPORT that I owned for just under five years. My biggest regret was selling that car in late 2010 knowing what has happened to Holden.
    I also would Love to own a HSV Senator but one has to stop comparing a 2012 built car to one built today in 2021, because we all know how technology has advanced over that time since 2012.
    As to keeping the HSV as it came out of the factory is the best especially when it comes to the resale value down the track.
    That HSV Senator does not need to be any louder as it sounds great as it is with it’s bimodal exhaust.
    I have had my drivers license just on 50 years now, and I have had car exhaust mods done on some of my cars and have found that at some point you do get sick of it, and it is also can become a cop magnet when a car is louder than what it should be.
